IN FOCUS: TINA HAUSMANN

Born in 2006, Tina is the youngest member of our driver squad. She began karting at the age of seven and never looked back from there. At the age of 13, she decided that a career as a racing driver was for her, and her journey took another step.

The youngster started racing competitively in the Swiss Rotax championship in 2019, but she only did a number of ADAC Kart Master races in Germany in the years that followed, but at the end of 2022 she was testing Formula 4 machinery.

Tina made her car racing debut in Spain's Formula Winter Series at the start of 2023. With the family-run AKM Motorsport, she took to the rostrum on her very first weekend and impressed with her speed and racecraft.

Her main racing campaign through the year was in the ultra-competitive Italian F4 Championship with AKM. Her season was disrupted early by a flip at Misano, but she persevered. Consistent improvement followed, getting closer to the frontrunners. Of the trio of young women racing in that championship in 2023, Hausmann came out on top.

Aston Martin F1 Team selected Tina to represent the team in F1 Academy in 2024 with junior single-seater powerhouse PREMA Racing. She will dovetail her racing programme with her education.
